Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Central Indiana
National Weather Service Indianapolis IN
353 PM EDT Fri Apr 18 2025


.DISCUSSION...

Southwesterly winds today are gusting up to 30-40 mph through the
evening hours ahead of an approaching front, although increasing
dewpoints will keep daily minimum relative humidity values to 50
percent and above.

Several rounds of rain/thunderstorms tonight through at least Sunday
night will mitigate any fire weather concerns into next week. A general
lack of stronger winds is expected, although westerly breezes
Monday afternoon may gust as high as 25-35 mph.
